Question |
What do Islamic scholars and respected Muftis say about the following issue? A person vomits involuntarily in the state of Sawm(fast) and the vomit is also “mouthful”[which can not be prevented easily]. He is under the impression that vomit invalidates the Sawm. Therefore, he drinks water, etc., deliberately after the vomit. What is the ruling on the Sawm in the above situation? |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
Vomiting involuntarily does not invalidate the Sawm(fast) no matter
how big the quantity of the vomit is. However, if a person vomits
involuntarily and he eats and drinks anything afterwards, assuming that his
Sawm has become invalid due to this vomit, then his Sawm will become invalid
owing to the post-vomit eating or drinking anything. In this case, he will
have to keep only Qada (قضا) Sawm, he is not required to make any Kaffarah
(expiation).(Durr-e-Mukhtar,
